Overview: Each day at work is a living Hell for Nick, Dale, and Kurt as they deal with bosses that resemble spawns of Satan. Eventually they get so mad that veins are about to pop out of their neck, so they decide to hire a heavily tattooed Jamie Foxx, and with his (not so great) help they set out to end the bloodthirsty reigns of their grade-A-butt-muncher bosses.
The Good: C and I always enjoy a good comedy that we can ‘laugh our kidneys off’ all the way through, and “Horrible Bosses” was one of those precious treasures. Seeing Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis together is a revelation, and whoever was in charge of casting deserves Twinkies and free enema’s for life. C and I had a hard time finding out which one of the three was the funniest, because they were all so good. Jason Sudakis came out with some of the most gut-busting one-liners ever, and Jason Bateman had the don’t-screw-me-over attitude all throughout. The person who deserves the most recognition is Charlie, who plays as the very quirky and oblivious dentist assistant, who’s constantly being sexually harassed by his Jennifer Aniston-of-a-boss. He pulls off some of the greatest slapstick humor I’ve ever seen on screen, and although I would never do what his boss does to him, I would take him for some “All you can eat breadsticks at Olive Garden”. It’s not just the good guys that were awesome; even all the bosses were hilarious. It tickled my feet to see Jennifer Aniston transform herself from being a good girl into a demon lioness, and seeing Colin Farrell act like a toolish Fraternity boy was a treat; Kevin Spacey is always awesome!
The Bad: Call me a sociopath, or just call me a normal 24 year old ginger, but I almost wish it was a little bit more violent than it was. Other than the odd desire for there to be more violence, the only thing that could have made this movie a better experience for me would be some POPCORN DURING THE SHOWING!! I seriously felt as naked as a newborn possum without it, then again it was my fault I didn’t buy some… *sigh*
The Ugly: If you are a brotha or sista who likes laugh out loud comedies, and also has a secret desire to tell your boss to shove it, then this movie is for you. I for one have had a boss in my history (not my current one) that was just like Colin Farrell’s character, and so this movie was a weird yet joyful trip down memory lane.

"In a prius?"
"I don't win a lot."
It kinda made my day. :D
LOL! It was very funny. It was right up there with "Bridesmaids" for me.
